Altitude will not have any effect on the vacuum you will be able to achieve in the system. A good rule of thumb is to weigh in 80% of the original factory charge specified for your system. For example, if the system originally had a 3lb. charge (48oz.) weigh in 38.4 oz. of the 134a and check the...

I would agree that the system should be flushed, the txv should be replaced as well as the filter/ drier. Change the oil in the compressor and fill it with 8 to 10oz. of the proper oil. The system should be leak tested with pressure (dry nitrogen) to determine that the system is leak free...

Do you have an epr in your new compressor?

Classic told me about $340 to rebuild mine (not including clutch). They also have rebuilds on the shelf for $300 if you're not concerned about matching numbers. Sounds like you've had quite a time. Getting two bad ones in a row is just plain bad luck. Just curious, what kind of gaskets did you...

Update. I got the inlet screen and gaskets I needed from Classic Auto Air and I found them to be very knowledgeable and friendly. Prior to installing the compressor, I added 10oz. of ester oil to the compressor crankcase and cleaned the clutch assembly with a quick drying degreaser. The epr was...

Nice repair! I have had some success repairing plastic parts with the 2 part epoxy putty. I form the repair as close as possible and use the Dremel to shape it after it cures. The putty is very strong and is easier to work with than the liquid. On painted parts, you would be hard pressed to find...

Yes, I have a supply of R12. Just need the inlet screen.

I am going to install a remanufactured compressor and am using the existing epr. I have leak checked the system, flushed the evap, condenser and lines with Proflush and dry nitrogen. Going to install new txv, drier and O-rings. I noticed that the suction line inlet screen appears torn and I was...
